Thomas Jefferson on the EU

Thumbs way up, Mr. Hannan. We should be moving towards *less* centralized government. In America, every time there's any problem in society, we immediately ask, "what should the federal government do?" I say, "what should the state, or the county, or the municipality, or the neighborhood do?"

Greece tightens immigration control

2mtvchannel@gmail.com — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 01:39:00 +0000

Of the many thousands of people caught trying to enter the EU illegally each year, some 90 per cent are no Greece's borders.

In September and October between 100 and 350 people were believed to have been illegally crossing the land border between Greece and Turkey every day.

In a bid to control the situation, a multi-national police force has been deployed to patrol the Greece-Turkey border.

Al Jazeera's Barnaby Phillips reports from the border.

Rich Europe, poor Europe

2mtvchannel@gmail.com — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 01:21:00 +0000

This week, with the Eurozone still in decline, Counting the Cost looks at the very thing the shared currency was supposed to avoid - a two-tier Europe of rich and poor. With Ireland and Greece both accepting IMF/EU bailouts, all eyes are on Portugal, Spain and Italy to see if they will follow suit. But if they do, will it only reinforce that idea of a continent with 'haves' and 'have nots'? We speak to Wolfgang Manchau from Euro Intelligence in Brussels for his ideas and solutions to the current crisis.

Daniel Hannan -- A Letter of Warning to America

2mtvchannel@gmail.com — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 19:11:00 +0000

A journalist and author, Daniel Hannan has been a British member of the European Parliament since 1999. He first came to wide notice in the United States when he made a speech on the floor of the European Parliament addressing the then-prime minister of Great Britain, Gordon Brown, about his disastrous economic policies. Hannan's latest book is A New Road to Serfdom: A Letter of Warning to America.

Amplifying on his new book, Daniel Hannan warns that the United States is Europeanizing, with all the inherent dangers that come with the expansion of the welfare state. "This expansion doesn't just reduce economic growth, it tends to squeeze out personal morality." Hannan, who connects the decline of the European family and society with the rise of cradle-to-grave welfare in Europe, has a special warning about the dangers of Obamacare "Once politicians assume responsibility for health care, they find that they have made an almost irreversible decision." Hannan concludes that this drift to Europeanization is not inevitable if Americans honor the genius of the Founding Fathers.

4 Bln Euros vanish from EU budget annually

Gripped by protests and crisis, EU nations are being forced to fend for themselves. It is time to go back to the drawing board, before it is too late, believes Nirj Deva, MEP, UK Conservative Party. He says the entire construct of the European Union is becoming unmanageable."The construct is incapable of meeting the challenges of the 21st Century. It was constructed after the war - Churchill's 'Empires of the Mind' in a single European space. It was constructed to prevent a major war in the Continental Europe by locking Germany, France and all the other countries into single space with settled values - democratic, pluralistic - diverse, but accountable values," Deva told RT. "Now it needs a new construct to be able to work in cooperation with Russia, with primary energy producers and suppliers, to work as a good neighbor in areas such as Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and so on. We need therefore a much more flexible construct," he added.

British politician and the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) Nigel Farage has slammed EU bosses over European crisis. "It's even more serious than economics because if you rob people of their identity, if you rob them of their democracy, then all they are left with is nationalism and violence. I can only hope and pray that the Euro project is destroyed by the markets before that" - Farage said at the end of his speech.

EU costs UK a block of gold every 100 sec

2mtvchannel@gmail.com — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 18:55:00 +0000

The cost of EU membership is unreasonably high and not worth it for the UK, argues Dr Lee Rotherham, a veteran from behind the scenes of UK-EU relations. Dr Lee Rotherham is an EU Policy Analyst at Taxpayers' Alliance and author of Ten Years On: Britain Without the European Union. He told RT that the UK's overall bill for EU membership, including direct and indirect costs for business and the whole country, could be up to £110 billion a year. However, he added that nobody knows that for sure because there has not been a gross benefit analysis of EU membership. Therefore there is a big question over whether UK taxpayers' money is being spent effectively, particularly in regard to the unprecedented economic problems the financial crisis brought to Southern and Eastern Europe. Rotherham said: "The cost of the [EU] regulations, in terms of the UK, is greater than the actual value of the trade that it is meant to regulate. That's because the regulations cover ten per cent of the British economy, which is our exports to the EU, but actually cover 100 per cent of the UK economy. Eighty per cent is internal, ten percent is to the rest of the world." The whole economy has to pay the price of the 10 per cent regulated by the EU. In real terms, the UK could buy a new hospital every three days with the money it spends on EU regulations and membership fees."The British taxpayer is funding taxes and naturally expects the money to be spent for the benefit of themselves, as fundamentally it is their money," Rotherham said. There are about 10 different levels of association with the EU, which are very similar in style, but some without the burdens, regulations and bureaucracy attached to them. And there has to be an appropriate mechanism for the UK that is not necessarily full membership, believes Rotherham. "If you were a member of a golf club and your bill kept going up and you had to invite people to your house every Sunday, and you had to put obliges and a number of things were added to your conditions of being a member of this golf club -- you would not be happy with that," he said. But "it's the same principle." The EU is just a part of the world and the UK, "rather than linking itself too closely with one part of the world trading system [EU], which is decreasing in importance, the UK or any European country should be involved in more pro-active free trade across the world rather than becoming a part of a regional association which highly risks becoming a protectionist bloc." "There are different models to offer, let's not pretend it is either the EU or oblivion, there are lots of choices around," assured Rotherham.

Nigel Farage to the EU: No Taxation Without Representation

2mtvchannel@gmail.com — Sun, 24 Oct 2010 20:58:00 +0000

European Parliament, Strasbourg - 20 October 2010

Nigel Farage MEP, UKIP, Co-President of the EFD group, made the statement during a meeting of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on October 20, 2010.

Transcript

Well, president Barroso, you’re certainly flexing your muscles, using the powers given to you with the Lisbon treaty which you pushed through using illegitimate means. You now do everything you can on the world stage and within the EU to acquire all the attributes of statehood.

And nowhere could that be more apparent than in your recent proposal for a direct tax to be levied by the European institutions on the peoples of this continent.

Of course in previous times there was a very successful independence movement that campaigned on the slogan of ‘No taxation witout representation’.

And you certainly, sir, are not a representative. We haven’t voted for you and we can’t remove you. So I think with this direct tax you actually made a mistake.

And what an expensive club it’s becoming. Just two years ago, Britain’s net contribtuion was £3 billion a year. This year it’s £6 billion. Next year it will be £8 billion. The year after that, it’s due to be £10 billion. And now we hear that you want to take away the British rebate. You want to get rid of the British rebate, which will mean by 2013 our contribution will be £13 billion. It would have quadrupled in the space of six years.

And simply, the taxpayers of Britain, realising all of this, seeing your direct tax will conclude that we simply can’t afford the European Union.

But I do see a ray of hope. The Doville deal between Merkel and Sarkozy – the thing that you’re all so terrified of today – I hope it happens.

Let’s have a new treaty. You yourself seem to be almost supporting it (to Barroso). Let’s have a new European treaty and let’s put it to a referendum – in lots of countries, particularly in Britain, and the British people will conclude that this is a very bad deal for Britain, they’ll vote for us to leave the European Union and begin the unravelling… [sarcastic applause]… Thank you. We;ll be happy to go, thank you.

Schulz:

Mr Farage, I have a question, maybe you .. you seem concerned about the tax coffers in the UK and you, the same as I, have an opportunity to decide where you get your daily allowances from at the start of the legislature – whether it be from the nation coffers or the European Union coffers. Maybe you could tell the House whether your daily allowances come from the EU budget or from the national system in the UK.

Farage:

I think we ought to do away with this notion of European money. Prior to their being a direct tax
there is as we speak today no such thing as European money. It’s our money. We are a massive net contributor into this European Union for no single economic benefit in return whatsoever.

Barroso:

I usually do not intervene, but there is a point of order that I want to make. It is nit the first time that Mr Farage, addressing to myself, says ‘you have no been elected’.

Certainly I have not been elected by you, but I’ve been elected by this parliament. I have been elected in a secret vote by this parliament. And you belong to this parliament. I can say that always saying that myself and the commission have not been elected is a lack of respect to the Commission and to the European Parliament where you belong.

Daniel Hannan wants UK to have EU referendum (08Sept10)

Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan on the campaign to get the UK to have a referendum on whether the UK should be in or out of the EUSSR.

This is a short clip because the BBC thought it was far more important on how the public sector cuts would affect the pampered arts budgets.
